NYC Mayor Eric Adams, no longer under the cloud of a corruption probe, made it clear Wednesday that he’s staying in the race and plans to secure a second term, following a decisive ruling from a federal judge that ended the case against him.
Speaking briefly in front of Gracie Mansion, Adams told the city this marked a turning point for both himself and the people of New York.
“I also want to apologize to New Yorkers for having to go through this with me — a baseless case that should have never been brought in the first place,” he said. “The lies — spread through false leaks and splashed across sensational headlines — and all of the distractions.
“But what I want you to know that I never stopped working for you. Not for one day.”

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is traveling to Greenland on Wednesday for a three-day trip aimed at building trust and cooperation with Greenlandic officials at a time when the Trump administration is seeking control of the vast Arctic territory. Frederiksen announced plans for her visit after U.S. Vice President JD Vance visited a U.S. air base in Greenland last week and accused Denmark of underinvesting in the territory. Greenland is a mineral-rich, strategically critical island that is becoming more accessible because of climate change. Trump has said that the landmass is critical to U.S. security. It’s geographically part of North America, but is a semiautonomous territory belonging to the Kingdom of Denmark.

On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu issued a statement addressing the IDF’s ramped-up military activities in Gaza and revealed plans for Israel to assume control over another strategic route.
“Last night in the Gaza Strip, we changed gears. The IDF is taking territory, hitting terrorists, and destroying infrastructure. We are also doing something else: We are seizing the Morag Corridor. This will be the second Philadelphi, an additional Philadelphi Corridor.”
He elaborated on the reasoning behind this move, saying, “we are now dividing the Strip and increasing the pressure step by step, so that they will give us our hostages. And as long as they do not give them to us, the pressure will increase until they do.”

According to a report by Politico, President Donald Trump has shared with his Cabinet members and inner circle that billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk will soon step down from his official government role.
The article notes that while Trump has expressed satisfaction with Musk’s performance leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—a department focused on rooting out bureaucratic waste—both he and Musk have agreed that it’s time for Musk to transition back into the private sector. Despite stepping away from a formal position, Musk is expected to maintain a behind-the-scenes advisory relationship with the Trump administration.

WASHINGTON (AP) — DOGE’s days appear to be numbered.

A terribly car accident on Tuesday night claimed the life of Rabbi Shneur Zalman Oirechman z”l, a Chabad shliach and marbitz torah in northern Eretz Yisroel. He was just 33 years old.
